Undermain Theatre is a company of artists that performs experimental works in Texas, New York, and Europe; collaborates with playwrights; develops original and world premiere productions; supports a theater archive; publishes plays; and sustains a theater in Dallas' historic Deep Ellum.

Undermain Theatre was founded in 1984 by a group of artists who transformed a warehouse basement under Main Street in Dallas into a unique performance space and began producing new and experimental plays. The company's reputation grew in Dallas' artistic community and beyond. Soon Undermain was home to many regional premieres of new work. Among numerous awards for its work including the Dallas Critics Forum, Undermain also was recipient of the 500 Inc's Ken Bryant Vision Award.
